Barbarians rematch pairs with MLR in May double-header

The Women’s Eagles will host the Barbarians for a second time as the first half of a May 3 double-header in San Diego. Torero Stadium will host the rematch of last year’s thrilling contest ahead of the Major League Rugby fixture between the Legion and the Austin Gilgronis.

Formed in November 2017, the women’s version of the famous invitational side have now played five matches. Their 34-33 win over the USA at Glendale last April was the first against an international side with the match proving one of the most exciting of the calendar year.

Kickoff for the Sunday international is set for noon, with the MLR game starting at 3pm. Tickets for the event are available for purchase now on the San Diego Legion site, with one ticket valid for both games.
